Beautiful batch! Can't tell that you rushed it at all.
How did you do at the show? Any pictures of your set up?

Beautiful batch! Can't tell that you rushed it at all. How did you do at the show? Any pictures of your set up? Thanks- It is always hard to tell the difference between 3 days in 500 or 2 days in 500 and 2 days in 1000. Not sure it matters on hard materials. We did really well at the show. Sold lots of tumbles so time to get busy. I posted my booth pictures in the show section. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/84695/pictures-show-booth-today-2018Chuck

2's my favorite, but 11 is really elegant with that section with floating orbs and parallax banding.

All are amazing, but I pick #11 as my favorite- so much going on, so many layers! I seem to like crazy lace apparently.

#2, 5 and 11 are my favorites! Can't decide between those three. They're all so beautiful in their own way. Nice batch!

Awesome as always, Chuck. Two and 11 are among my favorites. With my weekly full clean outs I get to know what is in my batches really well. There are usually a few in every batch that I am excited to see get finished up. For this batch it was #6 and #11. My picture must not have captured #6 good enough because that one is killer in person. #2 caught me off guard when I seen the photo. That one is fairly small and the camera picked up way more detail then I could see. Chuck

Are the sides of #6 metallic?
I've had that happen where macro photos either show parts of the rock that can't be seen with the naked eye very well or they accentuate horrible flaws that I missed before. I tend to keep the flawed photos for myself.
